Chapter 9: Good Byes
Ann followed Bill down a newly discovered dark corridor; the TombRobber lay limply on her shoulders. Ann looked up ahead to Bill with a fuming expression on her face; she yelled at him.
" Bill! Why do I have to carry him? He gives me the creeps!" Bill glanced back at her; the ring hung around his neck. Ann didn't think it was such a good idea, but Bill convinced her that if he wore it the TombRobber couldn't use it. Bill's eyes looked shadowed; Ann shook her head, the darkness must be getting to her. When she looked back to him he had turned around and kept walking; she didn't have a good feeling about this. They walked on, through the darkness, which made Ann's skin crawl. She hated the surrounding darkness it was eerie and felt unnatural. She was about to yell back to Bill when she some grabbed her shoulder out of the darkness.
" GGGAAAHHH!!!!!!!" Bill swung around and looked at her.
" Do you have to yell so loudly…" Came Joey's voice from out of the darkness. Ann felt her face brighten although no one saw it. She saw the faint figures of Yami, Yugi, Joey, Tristin, Mokuba, Kaiba, Bakura, Brian, and two others.
" Who's with you?" Ann asked in caution.
" We are!" Kyle's voice came out of the pitch black. Ann smiled in joy.
" Kyle? Tea? How did you get here? Where's Marie?" Yami's voice filled her ears; it sounded like he was right behind her; which made her somewhat uncomfortable.
" We found them in the last chamber…" Ann nodded although they couldn't see it.
" And my sister?" Joey now piped up.
" I have her here…" Ann squinted though the blackness to see Joey's figure holding a limp one. She looked at it in shock.
" What happened to her??!?!"
" She decided to slap Pegasus…" Tea's voice echoed off the walls. Well… that figured. She heard Tristin's voice next.
" Not to break up this reunion but can we get OUT of here?" Ann nodded quickly; and looked back up to Bill who nodded oddly and kept leading. They kept walking, every once and awhile she heard Bakura say some thing like.
" Tristin! Don't walk so close!" It made Ann feel better; the darkness wasn't so frightening with people she knew close to her. Suddenly a blinding light entered her brown eyes and she smiled brightly; she saw Bill ahead of her walking funny but out of the tunnel. They all started running toward it in an other crazy melee of feet and laughing voices, Ann some how in the lead. She emerged first into the sunlight, which started to burn her shoulders. She ignored it and smiled even wider; right in front of her a Pyramid stood. It was truly huge, and towered over her hundreds of times. The rest of the group ran out; everyone except Kaiba, Yami, and Bill didn't look at her in surprise. Ann looked at her shoulders and back to them. She then looked at Bill who was walking, scuffing up clouds of smoke, toward the very close Camels; which were edging away from him.
" Stupid mammals…" Bill said in a creepy voice. Ann blinked at him; and yelled to him.
" Bill, you got the TombRobber impression down okay? Knock it off! You're giving me the creeps!" Bill turned and looked at her, his eyes curved in an odd way with darkness surrounding them. Ann dropped the TombRobber off her shoulders with out a though; his body fell to the ground loudly.
"Bill?" Bill smirked evilly and opened his mouth.
" Bill… he's not here at the moment…" Ann's face went whiter than possible. She glanced to the side and saw everyone with shocked expressions on their faces except Kaiba who looked somewhat angry. Ann glanced back at Bill. He was now laughing very loudly; his hand lifted with the ring in it.
" I will send you all to the shadow realm…" The ring started to glow and everything started to get dimmer. Before Ann knew what she was doing she found her legs and started running at Bill quickly. Bill looked at her in some surprise as she suddenly rolled on the ground right to his feet. She elbowed him hard in the middle of his stomach; she took the ring out of his hands as he cringed over. Ann turned around but Bill grabbed her shoulders. Ann instinctively threw the ring in some direction, for some reason it send Bill flying into the side of the Pyramid wall. His body hit the bottom part of the Pyramid and fell to the ground in a heap. Ann then looked at Yami who was somewhat shocked her him. Bill's eyes flicked open in some kind of burning anger. He roared out and jumped to his feet. Ann looked frightened at Yami and yelled to him.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! SEND HIM TO THE SHADOW REALM!" Yami nodded and concentrated; an eye glowed on his forehead. Everything around them grew dark; Ann shivered from it.
Yami's Violet eyes opened in a flash and he held out his hand. Bill stopped dead and some part of him was ripped away.
" I WILL BE BACK! YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST OF ME!!!!!" The voice was gone in a flash. Ann blinked and everything was back to normal; TombRobber's body was gone but Yami and the anime characters stood around in a circle. Bill woke up, bellowing in absolute pain. He stood up carefully, his right arm swaying. He picked it up and dropped it; it fell limply to his side. Ann knew his arm was out of its socket. He started walked toward them and stopped in front of Ann, he looked down at her feet. She looked down at the Millenium Ring that was under her right black sneaker. She picked it up by the cord and held it away from them. She looked at Kaiba who was now standing next to her with a smirk on his face.
" Can I have the turban in your pocket?" Kaiba pulled it out of his pocket wordlessly and continued to stare at Bill; Bill's face went white. Ann twirled the ring in the cloth and held the object back to Bakura who was standing directly behind her.
" Put this in our pocket and don't put it on… I don't want to take any chances…" Bakura obeyed and stuffed the ring in his pocket. They both looked at Kaiba who started walking toward Bill. She heard him state something.
"I'm so going to enjoy this…" Bill turned to run but Joey and Kyle held him in place; Bill started screaming.
"NO LET ME GO!" Kaiba took his arm and hit it back into his socket. Bill screamed in a way that sounded like he was in too much pain. Kaiba stepped back as Bill started to test his arm and Kyle and Joey let him go. Kaiba opened his mouth.
" No thank yous are necessary…" Bill glared at Kaiba and Ann laughed loudly with Brian. Ann saw in the corner of her eye Yami doing something to the side of the Pyramid. Something white and circular glowed out of it. All the characters looked at it. Every one walked toward it. When they got there Ann looked at everyone. Marie started to awake. Joey placed her on her feet and she looked at him in a way Ann had never seen before. Joey leaned over and kissed her; her sister blushed deeply and a tear fell down her face. Tristin lifted his foot and entered the bright white light; he smiled to Ann and waved good bye. Bakura was next he hugged her, which made Ann blush, thanked her, and disappeared into the light. Tea and Marie hugged like sisters and waved good bye to them and disappeared into the light. Mokuba disappeared into the light only because his brother shooed him into it. Joey was next to jump in he waved bye ecstatically. The only anime left was Kaiba, Yami, and Yugi. They didn't move and looked at Bill. Bill started to walk toward the light. Ann suddenly ran to him.
" Bill? What are you doing?" He looked at her in a dazed way.
" I'm going with them… it's for the best Ann…" Ann suddenly got the picture. His parents were gone… he had nothing here. No wonder they didn't get any worried messages from his parents. Ann felt a tear fall down her face. Bill looked at her with pity.
" Don't worry Ann… we will see each other again… I promise." Ann nodded; he started toward the portal. Ann opened her mouth suddenly.
" Bill! Wait a moment!" Bill turned to her and again. Ann clipped off the arm bracelet and placed it into his hands.
" Don't forget about me Bill… any of us…" He nodded and hugged Brian, Kyle, and Marie. Kaiba rolled his eyes and entered the portal. Yami followed him; Yugi followed him waving good bye to them. Bill was last, he waved good bye. He yelled to them as the portal closed.
" We WILL see each other again! Don't worry about me!" The portal closed with a blip and he was gone. Ann shed a tear. They all stood mournfully at the pyramid. Until her sister broke it.
"How are we going to get home?" Brian suddenly pulled out a wade of cash and explained.
" Kaiba gave it to me when we found you in the chamber…" He said to Marie. They all nodded and started home.
Ann came back to school and things went back to normal, or as normal as you could get with out Bill. She missed him deeply; he was like a brother to her. Brian, Kyle, and Marie felt her pain and didn't talk about it, they feared it would only upset her. Ann was scolded by the principal when she got back about the fire alarm; this got her so angry that she only pulled it again to piss him off and she got a week of detention that she didn't notice because of the void left by her friend. When she thought of giving up she remembered he said they would meet again, like he could keep his promise now. She then had a dream.
She was surrounded by darkness and wandering though it. Suddenly a blinding light filled her eyes and she saw Bill standing in front of him. She opened her mouth that curled into a smile.
" Hi Bill! How are you?" He smiled back to her but didn't tell her. He spoke.
" Hi Ann…Ann…Ann." His voice echoed. Yami's head suddenly appeared out of no where and yelled at him.
" BILL! You're wrecking my concentration. And as Joey would say, GET ON WITH IT!" Bill glared at him as he disappeared in a blip. Ann blinked at Bill; he looked back at her with an annoyed expression on his face. His face softened and placed something in her hand; he smiled at her.
" You're going to need it more than I am now…" He started to fade. Ann looked at him with a frown on his face.
" Use it well…" Ann smiled at his Yami impression; he disappeared with a blip. Ann suddenly awoke up sweating and breathing heavily. She looked sadly at the ground; She guessed he couldn't keep his promise. She suddenly felt something in the palm of her hand. She opened her hand; she smiled. In her palm was her bracelet; it glowed and sparkled at her. One thought echoed threw her mind.
Scratch that, I think he just did.
